Cannot ping internet provider routers but simulation packet can reach them

Arie

Hello guys,

I am training with cisco packet tracer. When i use simulation panel and trying to send example packet from myregular pc towards either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 packet seems to be reach them correctly, howeber when i am accessing command prompt and trying to ping those points i am getting timeouts. Can anyone explain me that why packet is reaching providers when using simulation panel and when i am just pinging them not.

Here find cisco packet tracer project to see the issue: https://db.tt/erTzwRFlUT

here's screenshoot:

Hi,

Not in a position to view your packet tracer configuration at present, however are both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.2.1 aware of the return next-hop to locate 192.168.59.0/24?

hmm, dont know what to answer, do you mean i need some additional route somwhere? if possible please explain as easy as possible.

Hi,

Both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.2.1 will need to be aware of the route back to 192.168.59.0/24.

I would suggest the following be configured on 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.2.1;

R: 192.168.0.1

ip route 192.168.59.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254

R: 192.168.2.1

ip route 192.168.59.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254

Have to questions to your answers:

1) If so how can i add those ip route on both wifi routers? Don't see any CLI tab when click on them.

2) So far fom my understanding, PC0/1 when sends ping to either one of those routers it will reach router 1841 as it has their gateway, then this gateway recognize one of the subinterface ip and should send packet so for 192.168.0.1 it will choose 192.168.0.254 or for 192.168.2.1 will choose 192.168.2.254 then it should go through switch by trunk and reach those routers. However it's not which i do not understand. You said i need additional trace on those routers but even if at the current moment they couldn't be reached... And also i do not understand as if packet is going back they have their gateways on 1841 so should easily find on interface 192.168.59.254 subnet without any additional routing on wifi routers (that's also what i heard from my administrator colleague).

Hi,

it would be easier if I could see the configuration. Which version of packet tracer did you create this in?

As long as you have the default gateway in place then, yes this should be fine.

Hi

I will try and get this into packet tracer v7 shortly.

Just to confirm;

1. Have you created up the relevant VLANs on the switches? Confirm with a "show vlan brief"

2. On SW2, you are missing the following statement on Fa0/3

"switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,192"

Take a look at these points, and let me know how you get on.

2. On SW2, you are missing the following statement on Fa0/3

"switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,192"

I think that is not required as when do switchport mode trunk command - will automatically allow all vlans or am i wrong?

However i execute that line as well - nothing changed

vlans briefs:

Hi,

Yes you are correct,

"switchport trunk allowed vlan" is not required in this instance, as you are indeed allowing all VLANs;

Managed to review your configuration;

S2 Output:

sh int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan

Fa0/3 on 802.1q trunking 1

Port Vlans allowed on trunk

Fa0/3 1-1005

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain

Fa0/3 1,11,192

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned

Fa0/3 1,11,192

This most certainly looks like an issue with the return route from your internet routers.

I notice on the wifi routers, that there is an "advanced routing" which does nothing when selected. Your default gateway on the internet routers is 85.123.1.1, so this will not know how to return traffic for 192.168.59.0/24.

You will need to somehow enter a static route on the router to pass internal traffic back to the associated next-hop on "rW3plbyd1"

From my knowledge and also from my colleague who is an administrator configuration i have should be fine without assigning any additional static route on wifi routers. However i even connect regular pc directly to switch 2 and assign IP, also from that point i couldn;t reach PC0. To be honest i dont know what could be an issue. My colelague said in normal phisical implementation that will be working however not in cisco packet tracer.

Hi,

I can assure you that you need a route back, else your routing table will follow the default route, which in your case is 85.123.1.1.

85.123.1.1 doesn't exist in your topology, and additionally wouldn't have knowledge of your private subnet 192.168.59.0/24.

To prove my theory, replace the wifi routers with standard routers in packet tracer;

* Connect R1 (Fa0/0) to the interface on S2 associated with vlan 192.

R1:

!

en

!

conf t

!

int Fa0/0

ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

end

!

Int Fa0/1

ip address 85.123.1.1 255.255.255.252

no shut

!

end

!

ip route 192.168.59.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254

!

end

!

copy run start

!

* Connect R2 (Fa0/0) to the interface on S2 that is associated with vlan 11.

R2:
